Inarguably the most star-studded Final Four in history, this clash between Shawn Michaels, Batista, John Cena and the eventual winner Edge, all former World Champions, gave us one of the most memorable endings in Rumble history. Michaels was easily the star of the show here, as his redemption arc that was supposed to begin by winning the Rumble to challenge The Undertaker for the World Title at WrestleMania was the central story of the Rumble match.

The fact that he eliminated his own partner, Triple H, from the and had a breakdown after he was eliminated is enough proof of how important this Rumble was for him. Batista and John Cena kickstarted their feud here, when The Leader of The Cenation eliminated The Animal from the match. They would have a one-on-one bout at WrestleMania a few months later.

However, all the shine at the end was on The Rated R-Superstar, who not only made a surprising return to in-ring action, but also eliminated his nemesis, future WrestleMania opponent Chris Jericho, and emerged victorious from the match. In just 7 minutes, WWE gave the fans a glimpse of what they have decided for the biggest show of the year by having the best Royal Rumble Final Four of the 2010s.
